100% Cotton
This cool cotton is made from the Pima plant, famous for producing one of the finest premium cottons. It only grows in certain parts of the world - North America, Mexico and Australia - in small bushy shrubs that produce long silky fibers. The thread is twisted to make it particularly thin and elastic, resulting in a soft, shiny cotton that’s resistant to wear and pilling.
Ours is woven in Milan, by Iafil, a company that has treated cotton since 1890. They oversee every step, adhering to the Better Cotton Initiative and adopting cultivation practices that are more environmentally sustainable and socially ethical for indigenous communities.
Care
This garment can be washed in the washing machine, on a low spin cycle that doesn’t exceed 30°C. Lay it out flat to dry to ensure it keeps its shape well.
If you’d like to be even gentler, wash it by hand: leave to soak for 5 minutes, rinse and wring it out while keeping it wrapped up in a towel to preserve the natural fibers.
Last tip from us: be conservative with the detergent and softener, there’s no need to overdo it. Store the clean folded garment in a cool dry place.
Design
Great craftsmanship begins with premium quality ethically-sourced materials, giving you a garment that will last a lifetime. This sweater has been designed to be lightweight, adapted to the warmer seasons, made using single-ply yarn knitted at 12 gauge thickness. The gauge refers to the number of needles per inch on the needle bed. The higher the number of needles, the finer the yarn needs to be.
Drop stitching the yarn makes the garment more refined and well-balanced. Drop stitching means lowering the needles in the machine to create curves in the knit without using scissors: a premium technique that guarantees less waste.
Every garment is washed, to consolidate its texture and get rid of any residual scraps from production.
Made in Italy
We’ve always put our trust in the hands of the best local craftsmen. Afterall, Italy itself is like a huge open-air workshop. Made in Bagnacavallo, in the Ravenna province, this sweater was created in a workshop owned by Gilberto. His knitwear company has been spinning top quality yarns since 1995, combining research and passion to produce excellence. To date they have over three thousand designs, created through continual experimentation with new yarns. For durable pieces made in a variety of textures and thicknesses.
